[rdiff-backup-users] Fatal Error: Process still running

[Eric Beversluis]

"Fatal Error: It appears that a previous rdiff-backup session with
process
id 2012 is still running.  If two different rdiff-backup processes write
the same repository simultaneously, data corruption will probably
result.  To proceed with regress anyway, rerun rdiff-backup with the
--force option."

The rdiff-backup seemed to hang the last time it ran it, so I just
aborted it. ps-ef doesn't show any process 2012 or any other
rdiff-backup process running now.

If I use the --force option, will that abort whatever is happening with
rdiff-backup and start a clean backup?

Thanks.
